Second experience with baboon lemon...

Sorry but I don’t have pics. It was large and seedy. I made a Greek lemon chicken soup with it and the soup was delicious. Any of you considering this variety should be forewarned....it tastes differently from any lemon or lime I’ve ever tasted. I do not think it would work for lemonade - at least I would not like as lemonade. It is very very sour with a strange flavor - almost like disinfectant! I don’t know if you could call it floral, but it is definitely a vivid flavor. I think this lemon would work well in savory dishes, but I am not sure about desserts. I used the juice and zest in the soup and everyone loved it. The foliage is pretty and the flowers are very nicely scented, but not a typical lemon flavor for sure. I know some of you are considering it based on my purchases and recommendations. I love the tree, and it is interesting, but not a general purpose lemon.
